Braille Special Symbols Writing 1 - Special Symbols and Electronic Addresses

Hadley presents Braille Special Symbols Writing Workshop 1: Special Symbols and Electronic Addresses.

If you don't already know how to read electronic addresses, we recommend first doing Hadley's Reading Workshop, Braille Special Symbols Workshop 1: Special Symbols and Electronic Addresses.

Begin by putting paper in your writing device using the writing device you have available to you, including the slate and stylus, the Perkins Brailler, or an electronic note taker. Also, you will need your braille workbook. If you don't already have one, call Hadley at 847-784-2816 and we'll mail one right out to you.

Okay, let's take a fast look at this first set of special symbols. Turn to page 1 in the workbook. At the top of the page, read the symbols.

Ed: Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you. Your name, email address, how you heard about Hadley, and your relationship to vision loss. Learning more will give us a better understanding of how to personalize Hadley just for you. And don't worry, everything you share with us online will be kept safe and secure. Of course, if you'd prefer to talk through these questions, we're just a phone call away, at 800-323-4238.

Taking these few steps saves your preferences so you can continue right where you left off and track your progress every time you log on. Plus, it connects you to the Hadley community and helps sustain our funding to keep Hadley free of charge. And last but not least, it gives you direct access to experts, like me. Now, where were we?
